·NEW ECCLESIASTICAL/SCHOOL YEAR BEGINS – Please make note of all the changes in our Parish
Ministries marked by the beginning of the new Ecclesiastical and School Year. Also view changes in Fr. Ciprian’s
WeekDay Schedule in the Bulletin Heading. NOTE: When you need to get
ahold of Fr. Ciprian by phone, please CALL THE OFFICE NUMBER FIRST regardless
of the day of the week - you’ll likely find him there (except Thursdays) to
speak with or leave a message. If your matter needs immediate attention, YOU
CAN ALWAYS CATCH HIM ON HIS CELL, but this process will help him (1) to
hopefully break the habit of averaging extremely high number of calls on his
cell and none any longer while driving :) and (2) to minimize possible cell interruptions
during important meetings. WEEKLY VISITATIONS: Let Fr. Ciprian know if
you are interested in joining him for some visitations; he still needs help
with Greek for some of these visits :)SUNDAY BULLETIN: From now on, Fr. Ciprian will
be putting together the Sunday Bulletins on Fridays (when he will also set time
aside for sermon preparation, theological readings, website updates etc.) so
please submit your announcements EVERY THURSDAY BY MIDNIGHT.

·SUNDAY SCHOOL – The first day of Sunday School will be September 12, 2010 but, if you still haven’t registered your
children, please see Maria Katsiris today. The blessing prayer for the
beginning of the New School Year will be done on next Sunday (Sun, Sep 12) at
the Divine Liturgy.

·GREEK SCHOOL – Classes
will begin this Wednesday, Sept 8.

is not the best day for the majority of the participants of the Greek School.
